Sign-up is actually a LOT more low-friction than I expected. You verify your phone number (which takes about ten seconds), and if your billing address matches, you're signed up and address-verified immediately.
It's a little more complicated if you're billing addr is not your home addr (and you don't want to put in your credit card), but my guess would be that phone-number verification works in the 95% general case. Given how quick and easy sign-up is, I'd imagine that the friction argument is still rather relevant.
- finnn 12y agoAny idea how they get your phone number's billing address? EDIT: Doesn't seem to work with my T-Mobile cellphone, so I'm guessing they have some arrangement with like some cell carriers?
